26 year old, with 4 years of minor league experience, highest level attained was AA.
In 3 AA seasons started 40 of the 60 games in which he appeared, with a AA ERA of 5.06 over 242IP.
He has 259K in those 242 innings, so they must see something they can work with.

The T J apparently stands for Franklin Todd as that's his given name.
He's a USC Gamecock*.
That's all I got.

When John Roche played for South Carolina in a game at North Carolina, the banner across the entire upper deck read "Tar Heels stomp on 'Cock Roche".

Probably the first instance of an exchange of a T. Jay for a TJ.
Hope for the best. Expect the Mets.
